The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood is thrilled to host the 2023 South Florida Cultural Consortium. A catalog will accompany the exhibition.
The South Florida Cultural Consortium, an alliance of the arts councils of Broward, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties, recognizes ten individuals from Miami-Dade County, four from Broward County, two from Palm Beach County, and two from Monroe County. The awards are conferred at either the $15,000 or $7,500 level. These grants are among the largest such honors accorded by local arts agencies to visual and media artists in the United States.
Celebrating 35 years in 2023 (established in 1988), the SFCC has awarded over $4 million in grants to more than 300 artists. In addition to receiving the grant, the artists take part in an exhibition hosted and organized by a visual arts institution in one of the five counties. The exhibition featuring the work of the 2023 recipients will take place at The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood at 1650 Harrison Street, Hollywood, FL 33020, October 14, 2023 - January 24, 2024.
The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood holds a long-standing history with the contemporary visual arts in South Florida. Since 1975, the Center has featured exhibitions of South Florida artists, often showing their work for the first time. The 2023-24 Consortium exhibition features 18 artists who received grants to support their work. With a wide range of media including photography, film, sound, sculpture, mixed media, and painting, the exhibition will celebrate the thriving artistic community of South Florida. The exhibition is organized by Meaghan Kent, Curator of Exhibitions.
